GREENE — Forrest W. Austin III, Feb. 4, 1978, to Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017. Dearly loved by many, he lived a life of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and an incredible generosity to anyone in need. However, his deep sensitivity and lack of self-value hindered him from feeling those gifts returned to him. He ended his own life not knowing the significance of his contributions to so many.
Among the many people who loved him are his daughter, Kimberly Austin; his partner, Sharmane Vallerand, and their son, Logan Austin; his grandfather, David Trider; his mother, Kimberly Trider-Grant and stepfather, Arthur Grant; his sisters, Melissa Yeaton and her family, Jessica Gawron and her family; and a large extended family who will miss him greatly.
In remembrance of him, live life with an awareness of the needs of those around you.
